ROTTEN, MISERABLE, FASCISTIC, HITLERITE, ISRAEL-LOVING SWINE!! – AT 7:34 P.M. The Associated Press, in an orgy of biased journalism, reports on a new, grave threat to civilization, a party in Sweden that believes its country has the right to a culture.  Stop them!  Stop them now before they jack-boot all over Europe.  I'm exhausted. 

STOCKHOLM - From his party's office in the basement of a Stockholm parking garage, Jimmie Akesson is running for Parliament, preaching sharp cuts in immigration and calling Islam the greatest threat to Swedish society.

That message until now has gained little traction in Sweden, but polls are predicting gains for Akesson's far-right Sweden Democrats that could give them a king-maker role in national elections this year if neither mainstream bloc wins an outright majority.

Note the term "far-right."  How often have you seen the term "far-left" used in mainstream journalism?  These are the journalists who refer to terrorists as activists and Islamic extremists as militants. 

It's an unnerving scenario for Swedes and their self-image of being more tolerant of outsiders than the rest of Europe.

Tolerant?  What's tolerant about allowing into a tiny country hundreds of thousands of people who have no intention of becoming Swedes?  That's not tolerance, that's madness...exception to the fashion plates of the Swedish left.

"In Sweden, if you voice criticism against the immigration policy, you are viewed as a racist or xenophobe," Akesson said. "It's difficult to get people to stand up and say 'Here's what I think.'"

Swedes have allowed themselves to be intimidated by the left, which hurls the charge of racism against anyone who dissents.  Ditto leftists in the United States.  Note how the Arizona illegal-immigration law is being chalked up to "racism."  It's the only game they know.

In some cities immigrants are nearly 40 percent of the population, and in certain neighborhoods nearly 90 percent.

What worries many Swedes is the clustering of immigrants in neighborhoods with nicknames such as "Little Baghdad." Few native Swedes ever set foot in these districts, viewing them as dangerous slums infested with criminal gangs and Islamic fundamentalists.

In Malmo, Sweden's third largest city, firemen must have police escorts to answer fire calls because local Islamists pelt them with stones.  If anyone objects to this behavior, they're called intolerant or fascist.

Akesson also points to attacks against artist Lars Vilks, who drew the prophet Muhammad with a dog's body. Last month furious protesters chanting "God is Great" in Arabic disrupted Vilks' guest lecture at Uppsala University and vandals tossed firebombs at his home.

The party's views have provoked fierce reactions. Some high schools have prohibited party members from handing out flyers on school grounds. In 2007 the party struggled to find a venue for its annual meeting when several conference centers turned it down, citing security concerns.

COMMENT:  It may seem incredible that a man who stands up for his own culture, and against violence, can't find a place to speak.  But it's happening in American colleges and universities.  Yes, it can happen here, and under Barack Obama and Eric Holder, it probably will.
